Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit evidence for a promise?
Evidence submission is live on TNTrack! Navigate to the Submit page (/submit) or click "Submit evidence" on any promise detail page. Select the political party, domain, and specific promise, paste a link from a whitelisted source, select the publication date, and summarize what it proves. Every submission undergoes editorial moderation before appearing on the public ledger.
Why isn't my source link working?
TNTrack only accepts URLs from domains on its active whitelist (such as official state portals tn.gov.in, PIB, and accredited press like The Hindu, Times of India, etc.). If your link is from a whitelisted domain but returns an error, the source publisher may have moved or archived the URL. You can check a web archive service or flag the dead link via our Contact page.
What does "Pending" status mean?
As defined on our Methodology page, Pending simply means that no official government order (G.O.), legislative bill, or verified budgetary action has been published yet. It is the default starting status for every promise and does not mean the promise has failed.
What do the other statuses mean?
Fulfilled means a binding G.O. or legislation is enacted; In Progress means initial implementation or budget allocation has begun; Contested means legal, constitutional, or fiscal disputes exist; Broken means the commitment was explicitly breached. Learn more on our Methodology page.
Who decides when a status changes?
Status changes are strictly governed by evidence standards. When verifiable primary evidence (such as a published G.O.) is submitted and audited, our editorial team updates the ledger. For full details on criteria and governance, visit our Methodology guidance.
